1.  2 years ago, I won a corset design contest for Frederick's of Hollywood which included a trip for two to Hollywood.  They made my corset, and it walked down the runway with a the other corsets for the show.  I took my my friend with me to share the experience and will never forget it! (See photo at top)


2.  I have four cats, Charlie, Edwina, Minnie, and Otis who until we have children will serve as our children :)  I spoil them as much as possible.

3.  I'm a big sci-fi nerd.  I love the old Star Treks.....such a high cheese factor!  Some of my favorite current programs are Heroes, The Office, and Project Runway.

4.  I love to paint, and hopefully will begin to pursue that more.  I wish there were more hours in the day to do all of the things that I love.

5.  In addition to "Etsy-ing" part time, I work full time for Kohl's Dept. Stores Corporate offices where I am a Digital Asset Specialist.  Basically I color correct and retouch images for the Kohls website.  I also do part time design work for clients.

6.  I love my husband very much, and although he is not a perfect person, he is perfect for me.  I feel so blessed to have him in my life.

And now I'm tagging:

Recommended Reading?

For Christmas this year, I received two amazing books.  The first is The Architect's Brother, the second is Creature.  I was exposed to the Creature book, courtesy of Mrs. French on Bliss blog.  The images in these two books, really inspire and motivate me to step outside of what I know as a photographer.  There isn't much as far as "reading"....more pictures which I like.  But the pictures themselves tell stories.  They'll blow your mind.

Magical Red Shoes

What is it about the magical red shoes, that inspires us to capture, collect, illustrate them?!  I don't quite know, maybe it's because they're a little on the sassy side?  Perhaps when we wear  red shoes, we feel almost invincible?  I'd love to know your thoughts on this, and please mention how many pairs of red shoes you own.  I own 3 pairs, but am always on the watch!
